I now think there are 5 different types.









and the 5th type is ? Now this could be a quiz.

I have a different one not pictured above, anyone else.

Is it the 5/16 BSF obstruction spanner?

Could you list them in date order with their dates?

No another flat steel punched out one like the rest, but a different shape.

I could try

chronological order

fifties?

fifties/sixties?

seventies?

eighties?

a guess I have seen the eighties one advertised with QBs

Thanks.
Sounds about right. Was the third one introduced for the large hexagon squat flywheel nut? Was this a similar time to the change from the metal to the plastic fuel cap? In the late 60s??

As there is a dearth of suggestions for the fifth type, could we see a picture?

What I would like to know has any one tried to shift a large flywheel nut with one of these contraptions? I have never owned one nor come to that seen one but they look very flimsy. (or any thing else where clearances are next to nothing)

I don't think I would have bothered having one in my tool kit when at sea/

Remember when bicycles used to have a similar tool? Might be a throw back when BS came from the Sunbeam brand that made bicycles.

Flywheel nut?

No not up to the task.
